Two Children of Prophecy
Chapter Thirteen: Last Nights & Goodbyes
Dante stood there for a while not noticing his Summoned weapon disappearing or Paige hugging him from behind, he knew this was the end, beings as powerful as the Elders if they saw you as a threat they took you out, and if they couldn't do it they would send in the attack dogs to do it for them, if he didn't go along with what they wanted he would be hunted to the ends of the earth and under it as well, the Elders would leak the knowledge of his powers and his identity to the Source and he'd be hunted down their as well.
He went almost without seeing to bed as he followed Paige who held his hand and pulled off his clothes and laid with him till they drifted off, both worried what tomorrow would bring, Dante thought that before he went he should at least apologize in some way and decided that he would update the Book of Shadows, maybe a note left for them inside, he didn't think he could face his mother after what he had said to her.

The next morning Paige was pacing, she knew that she Dante weren't really a serious couple and would more than likely never survive the backlash from the family when they found out but she wasn't stupid she knew what the Elders were getting at before Dante wiped the floor with them, he would be killed or asked to leave the realm of the living probably transport to the ghostly plane and to a portal to Death, she knew they would be able to talk to him through a spell and that it would then be grantee that he wasn't sent too the Wastelands like Cole was when he died and he was part-human as well, she loved him but knew that it was mutual relationship she felt safe with him and loved the sex, and he had someone talk and look after him, and great sex, she shook her head, she didn't want him to go, she stroked his head waking him.
Dante blinked himself away to find a sad looking Paige waiting for him he sighed and said "there is a few things I want sorted out first, at the top of the list is the Book of Shadows I have a lot to enter before I pass, and I want to get it done quickly, I also want to take you to the demonic Market there is an item I want to get and I want to sort out an access for you to go there to trade and get herbs and things for potions and what not, so lets get to it."
Paige followed him as he got showered spending what would no doubt be their last few days together, they left for the manor an hour later dressed for the demonic market, they collected the book of shadows and stored it on them as they left, they did it know because they didn't want anyone walking in on them, Dante appeared in the normal place an niche in the wall of the cavern hidden by illusions, he had a small storage unit here as he had expanded it so he could keeping something's safe, Paige looked around in wonder he had allsorts in here, "I'll grab this stuff before we leave later," and took Paige around the stores killing three Demons that kicked a fuss over a witch being present, and showed her around and the main stores they could get things, he went to the credit dealer and had his account transferred to Paige with her giving a Wiccan Oath not to start any trouble in the market unless it found her, the oath would force her not to start anything in the cavern but it would also force the Illusions to mask her aura while in the carven as well.
Dante found the item he wanted he had a feeling that the Elders might not kill him, but force him into exile it was a favourite of theirs as they had did a few times, in the Outer Worlds of the Universe they could track places once and then it would forever be sealed from them they kept a permanent track of the hidden worlds run by Gods and creatures of old, and once they sent someone there they were lost permanently, as he said a favourite of theirs in particular the ability of the portals to destroy powers although his teleportation would be effected on another world, his main powers wouldn't be effected but his Shax Demon Power and the Others would disappear but he knew that it only stripped non-living things powers, so if he stored them in an Athame Pendant he would be able to store them till he made it on the other side.
The Elders were not the only ones that could spy, with his ability of Farsight and the Aura muddling power he could spy in the cloudy city, though not in power rooms only normal areas but he got plenty of info from them to find out what might happen if what did happen, happened, so he was prepared with packs of good he wanted to take with him, he knew outer worlds were classed as new worlds as the were all pre-technology so it be pointless to take gadgets and scare the locals, when the batteries run out and they were useless, though he didn't pack clothes they were a waist of space as well, he could conjure permanent clothes anytime maybe not silk yet or complex outfits but easy ones that he will fit in would work as well as his Dwarven Mithril as well.

When they arrived in Paige's flat Dante told her about the feeling he had and what he knew about the Elders habits and got her help to drain his drainable Powers into the pendant an indestructible one, and then he packed his pack and got to work on the Book of Shadows first adding all the Demons not in the book and then the different things he had found out, a lot more than anyone else knew Paige was fascinated by it, he even put down about the Market and a few of the 'Names of Powers' down that weren't in the book as well, he even explained the job of a Source although most saw him as a fear giving entity of extreme power he was stuck behind a desk regulating the underworld most days, he had used three pages on Demon Wars, and a few more on a few other subjects he had learned about, from Sword training to Languages he had learnt Japanese and French though he rarely used them he spent the most time exploring the Japanese Underworld and the French one in Europe those were the most interesting places.
He used nearly one hundred and fifty pages and a page he had left a letter to his Aunts and Mother, he had taken two days to write it all down but it was worth it, he already knew the book off by heart, the pleasures of mind powers, he knew the Elders were waiting for him to calm down and finish saying his goodbyes before they took him he had spied the other night and had confirmed it, though they had decided to keep Leo out the loop till it was too late, though they didn't realize that he knew they were expecting to spring it on him.
xoxox
Dante knew what was happening they would be coming in an hour and he would then let Paige go tell his mother and aunts what was happening and then he would leave… and the Elders would face the Halliwell family wrath all by themselves.
He snorted one of them would be kicked by his mother, hopefully Raphael, he didn't like him that much, he kissed Paige he wiped her tears away and said, "I'll be fine you won't have to worry about me, were I'm going they shouldn't be able to kill me," he smiled though it was more likely that there was someone there he wasn't worried, he had survived a lot and he would survive more, he kissed her again and held her close, counting the seconds and minutes, he blinked his eyes as they flared with power, he activated his Farsight and saw that they were getting ready shields and powers ready this time, he came back and stood taking Paige with her and said "they are on the way," he kissed her and shouldered his pack, he wanted to give the Elders a shock before he left.
The Elders psyched themselves up they were still shaking from the beat down they had a couple a days ago and not every Whitelighter or Elder was prepared to die as Michael or Gabriel they had been told about Dante Summoning the crossbow and that sent a thrill of fear through all of them, they sighed and gathered there Powers and Orbed as one, and got a shock to see Dante stood right in front of them travelling pack and a silent but crying Paige beside him, "You're right on time, though I was expecting you to be late, you lot can be annoying like that," they stared open jawed not really understanding how he knew, "We'll I haven't waited all this time to go through the Portal, so you creating it here or in cloudy city, because I would really prefer it done here, but your annoying like that," he was smirking now, he couldn't help but enjoy the moment.
He heard a sniffle from Paige but ignored it, he breathed in, "Well?" there was a pregnant pause before Uri'el stepped forward, "It seems that you are well informed, I hope you have said you goodbyes as you will not be coming back," Dante smiled coldly making her shiver as his black eyes watched her, "Paige will be my Proxy here on Earth, she will handle my family," Paige nodded and watched as Uri'el nodded and stepped back, the Elders created a circle around Dante and chanted their power threading through the air, though they seemed to be struggling, probably never having tried this outside the cloudy city were there power was stronger, he raised his hands and power flowed from him weaving into the holes that they left in the weave strengthening the Portal opening, he felt their power rush forward establishing the portal but the opening was weakening, he heard an Elder whisper, "we should have did this in the city we can't stabilize it here."
Dante rolled his eyes and hissed out angrily, "are you kidding me, do I have to help you exile myself," he sighed and his arms buckled as a massive amount of magical energy forced itself out more than was safe as well the Elders nearly lost the concentration as there spell was suddenly in fluxed with energy stabilizing and forcing the Portal to stabilize all the way to the other side, Dante slumped slightly as the backlash of the output was more than he could handle the Elders were shocked that the Portal was so stable the only one created to ever be stable was the short one to the Demonic Market, but one that went so far, they shook there heads and watched as Paige shared a final kiss with Dante, they were shocked that the boy and Paige were dating, Dante whispered to her sadly, "I'll always think of you," he pulled his hand away from hers and rested it above and concentrated hard, after a few seconds a heavy weight fell into her hand, a solid silver Rose in bloom with the Triquetra design from the Book of Shadows on the Petals, she smiled and kissed him again and stepped back.
Dante looked to the Elders and said "I expect that you watch over my family Zankou will strike sooner or later I would prefer it if you actually helped for once," he looked over at Paige and said "Goodbye," and stepped through, the portal closing with a snap behind him the ripple in the air smoothing till it disappeared.
Paige let out a sob and screamed "GET OUT," she Orb them all out the house to the cloudy city, she sat for a while before grabbing the Book of Shadows from the settee she needed to explain this hopefully Dante's last piece of revenge came to fruition, he wanted Phoebe to kick Raphael in the nuts she laughed to herself as tears started to flow she Orbed to the sitting-room, typically everyone was there looking slightly panicked, "What's the matter?" she asked wondering if Leo had found out about the Exile, "The Books gone missing," she rolled her eyes and said "That's because I had it," they family stopped and looked at Paige dressed up in a dress with the Book under one arm and tear tracks in her Eyes, "What happened Paige?" said Phoebe looking startled, Paige started crying and said "The Elders… they Exiled Dante."
There was a pause when an enraged Phoebe stood up shaking looking as though she would start screaming, she turned looking at Leo, he shook his head looking shocked, "Take me to them, NOW," she screamed the last part, lightning bolts singeing the furniture, as she fought herself for control.

Dante felt like he was spinning around a never ending tunnel though he never actually felt himself move just his perceptions, he wondered how long it would take to get too this outer world he knew that it was well out of normal bounds, he had to help the Elders stabilize there own Portal, he shook his head and winced, as he saw the dark tunnel flash, red he felt a different feeling in the tunnel as he realized that he had changed dimensions, through at least two and he felt the tunnel chamber change again he was going through time know 'backwards' he though he felt himself get thrown to a new tunnel he was nearly there, he heard a curious and strong powerful, very powerful voice… 'Voices?' it sound like a hundred voices speaking in perfect synch with each other, "A new child, different from the norm, welcome child to Arda, gift to thee Child of Green, Westron you shall speak, welcome to the Second-Age 1692," the voices left but their presence didn't he felt himself slowing although he was never really aware of the speed before, he watched ad light bloomed and expanded till he felt solid ground, his eyes unfocused and spinning, he felt the darkness spreading across his vision and he faded from consciousness.
xoxox
Phoebe was furious, the Elders had spent two hours explaining themselves to the Halliwell family knowing that if they pissed the family off too much they might destroy there own coveted Balance themselves, "so it's permanent, the Lost Witch Spell can't bring him back," Phoebe asked sounding broken, the Elders winced slightly before saying "No, we opened the Portal to a once only the Outer Worlds only have one connection to us, and when we use it is closed permanently, he has moved through Space, Dimension and Time, into the outer reaches were god's and creatures are still creating and ruling the worlds like it was thousands of years ago here, the worlds there are newer, its pre-technology, as we said we are protectors of the Balance and Dante knew that, he was surprisingly well informed he knew and was packed ready before we even told him."
Leo was the only one there that was showing a lot of anger; they had gone behind his back creating a portal on the mortal plane, without the whole council it was dangerous never mind without the expertise of Michael & Gabriel, "you could have killed him and yourselves if it collapsed without being fully formed, without a the full council never mind trying it in the mortal plane, how did you manage it?" Paige snorted forcing the Elders to visibly wince as they realized that they would loose a lot of face for this, "They couldn't, they stabilized the portal entrance and when they tried to connect it at the other side it started to destabilize and then Dante helped by keeping it steady, but then it started to loose power like you said Leo, each knew there own part but they weren't able to fill the gaps in the portal that were usually filled by the others, not to mention that it was harder on Earth, then when they started to loose it, he filled the room with so much magic…" she said with wonder, "more magic than I have felt before it hurt him to use so much he it, he filled the portal and all the gaps in it, and then it stabilized to a ripple in the air no light of vibrations nothing, like the portal to the market."
Phoebe gapped, "he had to help create the portal for his Exile?"
